Aged Accounts Receivable Grid

Use this grid to review project invoices, currency codes, aging columns, retainage amounts, and retainer amounts.

Field Description
View Detail This option displays the Invoice Detail dialog box. You can preview the project invoices, print, them, or email them.
Last Receipt This option displays a dialog box that lists the date of last receipt for the project, the amount posted for the select project or invoice, and the invoice number.
Comments This option displays the AR Comments dialog box, which you use to read, add, update, or delete comments about an invoice.
Project This field displays the project number associated with the transaction.
Project Name This field displays the name of the project, as specified on the project record.
Currency Code If you use multiple currencies, this field displays the three-character code for the currency. This currency may be the project currency or billing currency, depending on your selection for the Display Using option on the Options dialog box.
Total This field displays the balance of the invoice(s), reduced by any outstanding retainage amounts, since retainage is not considered due at this time.
Aging Columns These are the aging columns established on the Aging Options dialog box. Each column shows the receivables that are a certain number of days overdue.
Interest This field displays the amount of interest posted for past due invoice amounts.
Total Tax This field displays all tax amounts that are still outstanding for a project's invoices. This column displays only outstanding amounts, and not all taxes billed.
Retainage This field displays the retainage amount of the invoice not currently due. You see this column only if the Enable Retainage feature is selected on the General tab of the Accounting System Settings form (Settings > Advanced Accounting > System).
Retainer A retainer is an advance amount collected from a client prior to work beginning on a project. The amount of the retainer is typically stipulated in the client's contract, and is subtracted from the contractually agreed total project billing amount when the project is billed.
Comments A check in this box indicates that comments exist for at least one outstanding invoice for the project listed.

Field Description
Average age of receivables This displays the average number of days it takes for a client to pay invoices in full. This calculation is based on all paid invoices for a client.

Example:

A client has two fully paid invoices:

  • For Invoice 1, you received full payment 22 days after the invoice was issued.
  • For Invoice 2, you received full payment 36 days after the invoice was issued.

The average age of receivables for this client is 29 days (58/2).
